There are upon the skin of every human
being child and adult alike, 100000 pores.
Through these pores iii the form of insensible
perspiration, is expelled more than one-quarter
of the nourishment taken into the system.
The importance of keeping open these
perspiration valves upon child's body, is
second only to that of promptly digesting the
food eaten 1t was to open the pores of the
skin and to asSimilate the food that DIR.
Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels,
constipation. fcvers and eruptions which are
so constant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children before they
are five years old, arise principally from these
two causes. 1t is from the wonderful results
attendant upon the use of Castora in regu-
ating the stomachs and bowels and keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Castoria
acquired its world wide reputation. With
plenty of water for the body, pure air for
the lungs and Castoria to assimilatc the food,
there need be no unaccounted for sickness

prescription without morphine or other

use has given it a history never attained by

Going TO Night Quarters.

The operation known as going to
night quarters" consists in preparing
a ship for immediate action. and the
CELEBRITY with which it can be carried
out Is so extraordinary as to be al
most incredible. 1t is nearly mid
night. the flagship is blowing her
way across the calm sea, and the reg
ular humping Of her screw is almost
the only noise that is audible on
board of her The officer of the
watch passes like a shadow back
wards and forwards along the bridge
On the poop the marine sentry and
few ghastly-looking signalmen move
silently hither and thither A light
shines from the skylght Of the Ad-
miral's cabin: but if you loo5 down
you may see the Admiral asleep III
his arm chair. with book upon his
knees. On the dimly-hghted main
deck there Is a steady murmur
caused by the concert of several hun
bred snores. and the officers. like the
blue jackets and marines, are in the
arms of Morpheus. But, unfortun-
ately for the peace of the ship, the
Admiral has given orders that he Is
to be called at midnight, and shortly
before that hour the little midship-
man Of the watch steals softly below
and wakes the fag-lieutenant. who,
in his turn. wakes the Admiral Then
the Admiral suddenly appears on the
poop. followed by few heavily-eoat-
cd subordinates. and the order is
given. In an instant the ship, from
stem to stern, leaps from sleep. Men
drop from their hammocks, and parti-
ally dress themselves with a haste
which could scarcely be exceeded
were their lives in jeopardy. The
hammocks, which interfere with the
fighting arrangements. are dashed
up. and are placed In the up
per deck abreast of the proper
MEETINGS, and ready to be slowed and
covered. All lights which show out
side the ship are extinguished, and
the fighting lanterns are lighted.
Electric search lights are got ready
for use All wster-tight doors are
closed, the magazines are opened and
lighted. ire-engines and hoses are
prepared. and the guns are cleared
away and made ready for action.
When a ship is over ten thousand

OF more than seven hundred men, and
carries a number of guns, the opera

wolves an amount Of work and hustle
which might well make civilian des-
pair of accomplishing the business in

half after the giving of the order, an
officer reports that the guns are clear,
and that, in fact, the ship is, in all
respects, ready for action.-Er.
